^^THIS! Although, they are indeed everywhere and sometimes you just can't escape them.
Oh and FYI...it won't end in college.
Considering all of the idiots on the road, I thought not. There's this one spot that's got a 40 mph speed limit. I drive about 45-48 there. And people still don't think that's fast enough and they pass me only to get stopped at a light farther down.

Men don't grow up Baltimore, until a week before they die, and that is because they are too busy praying that they'll get into heaven after all the stupid things they've done...

One Little Spark...
Or they never grow up and their families ultimately pay the price.

Found out yesterday one of my younger cousins was killed in a car accident. He was 29. He was always on the wild side with a tendancy towards partying as far as I know. He was solo in his truck, on a rural highway, hit another car with 2 people in it at a very high rate of speed (judging by the article & all the things he hit after striking the car), flipped, and died. At 2 am. Toxicology isn't back yet but I'll bet my britches it won't be clean. Of course I'm sad even if we weren't close because, ya know, I remember stuff like bouncing him on my lap when he was a baby or having him chase us around wanting to be like us. Part of me is angry at the senseless aspect. If anything, my heart is broken for my aunt. She's a sweet lady. Opened her home to me and tried to help me out when I was a teenager. This was her only child. As a mom I just can't imagine burying your child and all your dreams with them. I hate that so much heartbreak will be left behind for something so dumb. That's the sad part to me. Worse is knowing your kid has hurt others, possibly maimed them for life. That's so frickin' wrong.

Last time I talked to this cousin was prob'ly 8 or 9 years ago. He and I had had a long heart to heart which I loved. But then a few weeks later he & his buddies pulled a really cruel prank on me via phone in the middle of the night that exploited things we'd talked about, that I confided. Drunk/high fools. I never forgave him. Still don't. It's a cold soul that could do that to someone, let alone someone you supposedly love.

So yeah, sometimes the stupidity and ignorance go on and on long after high school for some. You just have to keep your perspective and don't expect too much from them.

There's foolish people of all ages. Truly.

I wanted to like this post, but there is nothing to like.

My family is very similar, but I suppose every family is. There are whole swaths of the family who we don't even speak to anymore because they are always asking for money, because they think anyone who has a job has infinite cash, while they sit collecting various social benefits checks.

Anyhow, it's sad, and political, so I really won't go further.

I am very sorry that you lost your cousin. The whole story is tragic.

There is a lot of truth in the "Dilbert" comics. You will be exposed to stupid people in the workplace who also have the ability to make your life difficult.
Probably everywhere, on the roads, at school, at work, on TV...I'm hoping since I'm planning a career with Disney that the stupidity will be minimal (most of the cast members I've met have been lovely people), but you never know.

The Dilbert comics are funny. I love how there is truth in comics. According to my parents, there is great truth in the Zits comics.;)

EDIT: I do hope that by the time I'm in the workplace, the people I work with will know better than to set something on fire

You should be fine as long as you don't work with this guy:
